Home Standby Generator Monitoring

GE prides itself on being at the forefront of generator technology, providing you with tools like remote monitoring. Generator monitoring helps to keep you safe during a blizzard or heat wave related blackouts with real time status updates of your generator from inside your home!

Remote System Status Panel is wired from the generator into your home (similar to the furnace/air conditioner panel) to provide you with realt-time status of GE models 8-20kW1. This generator monitoring system provides a visual indication if/when your system has low battery voltage, low oil pressure, low voltage, the engine status, low frequency, the engine overspeed, high oil temp and transfer switch fault.

Basic Wireless Monitor is a great remote generator monitoring system to keep you up-to-date on how it is functioning. Compatible with GE models 8kW1, 10kW1, 17kW1 and 20kW1, this system is also wired from the generator into your home. This enables a visual panel updating you on when your generator is ready, the power status and when generator maintenance is needed. Infohub™ is also available for GE home generators and is wireless monitoring for your computer, tablet or smart phone.

The Wireless Router adds some extra power and range to the other remote generator monitoring systems by allowing network devices to communicate with each other up to 200ft from your home. Plug the wireless router into any standard outlet to get started!
